Why me?

I don't know why I'm homeless and no one cares for me,

I've tried to be a good little pup, good as any dog can be.

I had a home for a little while but one day I heard them say,

"You can't keep this female dog around", so they took me away.

 

They left me on a lonely road, no shelter and food for a pup,

I waited each day for their return, but now I've given up.

There's only one that knows I'm here, that knows of my awful plight,

A kitten that searches for food through the day, I hear her cry at night.

 

She lives beneath a pile of wood, so small, so scared, so thin.

To abandon a kitten so small and frail seems a terrible sin.

Help us dear God, this kitten and me, so hungry and so alone,

Guide some kind soul to find us and give us a home, sweet home.
